ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQ 27-Inch 4K Gaming Monitor With G-SYNC Available
We mentioned this model before, ASUS now offers their latest 4K gaming monitor, the ROG Swift PG27AQwith G-SYNC. This 27-inch IPS LED-backlight monitor supports a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and provides 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m2 brightness, 4ms response time and 178/178 degree viewing angles.
Featuring an ergonomically-designed stand with full tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment for comfortable viewing position, the ROG Swift PG27AQ comes with built-in stereo speakers (2Wx2) and has 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 2x USB 3.0 and 1x earphone jack. Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing yet.
- 27-inch, 4K/UHD 3840 x 2160 resolution display feature in-plane switching (IPS) panels for wide 178-degree viewing angles stunning gaming visuals
- Features NVIDIA®G-SYNC™ technology for seamless visuals and smooth gameplay
- ASUS-exclusive Ultra-Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free, GamePlus, and GameVisual technologies provide a comfortable gaming experience
- Ergonomically-designed stand with full tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment for comfortable viewing position
- Panel type: In-plane switching ( IPS )
- Contrast Ratio: 1000:1

In addition the new SWIFT PG27AQ includes an easy-to-navigate on-screen display (OSD) with a five-way navigation joystick and hotkey shortcuts, an ergonomic design with full tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment, and a smart cable-management system in a super narrow bezel design. Other gaming features like their 'game mode' presets and 'Black eQualizer' return, and there is now also an ‘Auto Game Mode’ setting which intelligently detects the genre of game you’re playing and adjusts to an ‘appropriate’ game mode setting (FPS, RTS etc). In other specs the screen offers 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles and a standard gamut sRGB coverage from its W-LED backlight. A single DisplayPort 1.2 connection is provided which is required to offer G-sync support. Given that the maximum refresh rate is 60Hz on this model it is unlikely that the PG27AQ will offer support for Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) or NVIDIA 3D Vision since those really require higher refresh rates to operate.

Isn't 4k on anything under 32inch way overkill?

Looks like the best monitor out right now, but not sure if I want to spend almost 1k€ and then be stuck with nvidia due to g-sync.
